After UKIP candidate, William Henwood, took to Twitter to say that the comedian Lenny Henry should emigrate to a 鈥渂lack country鈥�, John Pienaar assesses how this might affect the party in the run up to the European elections.

William Henwood, who is standing in a council election, said he did not think the messages were offensive. He tweeted after Henry said there should be more black and ethnic minority people in creative industries.

UKIP said it was a "non-racist, non-sectarian party whose members are expected to uphold these values".

Mr Henwood told 大象传媒 political correspondent Ross Hawkins: "I think if black people come to this country and don't like mixing with white people why are they here? If he (Henry) wants a lot of blacks around go and live in a black country."
